Georgia has passed a religious liberty bill over the objections of
the governor and many in-state companies like UPS, Coke, SunTrust Banks,
MailChimp, and others. Gay rights groups are calling on the film
industry to bypass Georgia for its film projects. “Georgia’s Economic Development Department reports nearly 250 filming projects set up shop in Georgia in fiscal 2015, spending about $1.7 billion in the state.” (H/T: AJC)

Now the National Football League has gotten into the act. The following is a statement from spokesman Brian McCarthy who claims “that the proposed law runs contrary to the league’s values of ‘tolerance’ and ‘inclusivity’”

Another one of these darling Muslimas has been caught faking a "hate
crime." It was when a video was presented which proved that a poor
little taqiyya
promoter was lying that led to her dropping her lawsuit against
Dearborn Police Department for allegedly violating her civil rights by
demanding she remove her hijab.

A lawsuit was filed against the Dearborn Police Department, as well as the City of Dearborn in 2015.

Following the alleged violation of civil rights, Maha Aldhalimi said,
"I am scared to leave my house now, and if I see a police officer when
I am driving somewhere, I start shaking uncontrollably and turn in the opposite direction."

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has made unfair foreign
trade a central theme in his campaign for the White House, singling out
U.S. companies such as Ford Motor Co. for moving operations abroad.

Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wrote a letter to Trump defending his company, and elaborated on the defense of his company in an interview with CNBC: “Ford Motor Co. is here to stay in the United States. It's presidential politics and we are just going stay focused on facts.”

Trump first blasted Ford in April when the carmaker announced a $2.5 billion expansion of operations in Mexico.

A Texas grand jury indicted 48 more bikers Wednesday in connection
with a May 2015 shootout outside a Twin Peaks restaurant that left nine
dead, bringing the total number of people facing felony charges to 154.

Prosecutors in Waco announced that all the bikers indicted are
charged with engaging in organized criminal activity, meaning they’re
accused of being complicit in the shooting that also left 20 people
injured. They face 15 years to life in prison if convicted.

McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna won indictments against
106 other bikers in November. In a statement Wednesday, he did not rule
out more indictments in what he called “an ongoing investigation.”

A new restaurant in Northeast Portland opened up last week, and is
already being marched on and protested by the professional protesters. Saffron Colonial
specializes in British cuisine, touting their “globally inspired dishes
from the height of the British Empire”, “English & colonial
breakfasts”, and “English tea-time treats”.

McCarthy admitted as much after being questioned by West
Virginia Republican Rep. David McKinley, who pressed the EPA chief on
why the Obama administration was moving forward with
economically-damaging regulations that do nothing for the environment.

“I don’t understand,” McKinley said in a Tuesday hearing. “If it
doesn’t have an impact on climate change around the world, why are we
subjecting our hard working taxpayers and men and women in the coal
fields to something that has no benefit?”

I want to get back to what Trump is doing, and we both know he is playing on impulses—

No, no we don’t.

We don’t?

What we know is that Trump has had the nerve to raise questions in a
clear language because he represents the millions of Americans who are
sick and tired of being told that they have to be guilt-ridden and keep
their mouth shut.

So why are Trump’s negatives so high, if he is giving a voice to the masses?

Look, Trump has been campaigning in a Republican primary with harsh
language and has been routinely attacked by the elite media as much as
they can. Reagan went through the same cycle. Do you know how many
points Reagan was behind Carter in March?

It was double digits, right?

Twenty-five. Not just double digits. Twenty-five points. So if you
had talked to me in March of 1980, you would have said, “How can I
support this crazy right-winger who makes movies with chimpanzees and is
25 points behind Carter?” And I would have said, “Because I think he
can win.” Which, by the way, he did.

Is there really nothing that worries you about this guy? The
way he deals with reporters, his campaign manager, etc.? You are not at
all worried he has authoritarian tendencies?

Breitbart News executive chairman and
host Stephen K. Bannon compared the issues at stake in Britain’s
upcoming vote on exiting from the European Union with the 2016 U.S.
presidential election, and asked Sessions if the latter could be seen as
“essentially an up-or-down vote on national sovereignty of the United
States of America.”

Sessions said the issue of sovereignty was definitely at stake in these elections.

What a dumb question. I would be more than happy to shake hands with the new First Lady. The PTB just don't get it, we don't care what they say or think, screw them, we're going all the way. Trump v Clinton in a debate? It should be all over, but the shouting and rightly so.

Yesterday we were stunned when we learned that in order to support Ted Cruz and to "attack" Donald Trump, Liz Mair's anti-Trump Make America Awesome
super PAC launched a Facebook campaign which in addition to showcasing
Mitt Romney's support for Ted Cruz, emphasizing Trump’s past support
for pro-choice policies, it also crossed the family line when it showed a
GQ modeling photo of Melania Trump posing nude.

Crossed lines aside, what surprised us most is that "showing a naked
Melania Trump, a successful, multi-lingual supermodel and undoubtedly
the most attractive first lady America would ever have, is not exactly
an attack ad" and we wondered how badly this ad would backfire "the
moment men end up seeing the ad." We will find out the moment the Utah
primary results come in, even though by her admission, Mair certainly
did her best to only focus on women voters.

In any case, about an hour ago Trump found out about Cruz' attack ad. This is what he said:

In a letter from Fish and Wildlife Services, dated May 22, 1988, on
letterhead, though, apparently never sent {107-109}. It is a response
to Dwight’s plight, after his meeting with Shallenberger, and references
that meeting. There is no indication of who edited the document. The
strike outs (light and by pencil) in that draft that are quite telling:

I am writing in response to your formal
appeal regarding actions taken by the Service to regulate Your cattle
trailing operation at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. I have reviewed
the correspondence surrounding this issue and have discussed the topic
at length with staff from the refuge and Regional Office. I have also
discussed it with Rob Shallenberger following his visit to your ranch.
I’d like to express my appreciation for the courtesy you showed Rob and
the information you shared with him. I’m sorry that I did not have the
time available in my schedule to make the trip to Malheur myself.

Judging by your personal experience you might
understand the titles inferred meaning. I would assume that depending on
your age, where you come from and all that you know, the title, might
give you a heads up on what theme might be expressed below.

You could say that “you” the reader, have a whole life time of
experiences and the saying “the writing is on the wall” means something
that we all can relate to. Correct? However we understand, the meaning
of the phrase “writing” for each individual could be almost any color
from the pallet so to speak.

Perhaps the age and maturity of the particular person gives them a
different understanding about life and how we should behave or be in
society. It is apparent that these times are very different today
compared to a 46 year olds life back when they were twenty. So the
“writing” is going to be quite subjective if we all get together and
discuss “the writing” that is on “the wall”.

Winners: Navy Cross Nguyen Van Kiet & MOH Thomas R. Norris This week’s Medal of Honor hero is one of a handful of Navy SEALs awarded the MOH in the Vietnam War. Norris snuck behind enemy lines with a South Vietnamese Navy petty officer rescued two downed pilots in 1972–when most of our resources had been pulled from the country. Interesting to note that later year, Norris was himself rescued by another SEAL Michael E. Thornton.More @ Medal of Honor Roll Call

=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.

Thank you

I would just like you to know how so very glad I am that I found your blog. I have learned more history from you and the many links that you post than I have from reading all my history books. I can never thank you enough for the education you are freely giving me. It is priceless. And eye opening.

Many times I will not comment, but that does not mean I am not reading and learning.

You sir, are an educator. Thank you.

Good morning Mr. Townsend,

Just to let you know I have finally finished that massive tome on General Lee. I never knew 1/10th of what a great man he was. No wonder the South is so proud of him! So sad that we have few men of his caliber today. We need them desperately. I have learned more history through you and your blog than I thought I could ever learn. I am very grateful to you. Thank you so much for taking time to answer my e-mail. And thank you for your blog and for opening my eyes.

".......So good to hear from you! And also so pleased you are converting more of us Yankees! You have no idea how many people you have taught. And how many are so grateful to you for showing us the truth."

Your faithful friend,

==============================

I have also learned from Brock Townsend and two nurses lately, that appreciation expressed by someone for whom you have great respect overwhelms the lack of appreciation by some from whom you expect it. I believe that we cannot really know which small bit of help makes the life-saving difference. ﻿I may have learned more real American history on Brock's blog than in 20 years of government schooling.

I have learned more history from you than all the years I was supposed to be in school (and not out hunting or fishing).

==============================

I really must say, I like thousands of others have said, your blog is the best out there and with all of your history and experience, you should run for *president. I look forward to reading your blog every day and every day I learn from you. Thank you for the time you put into this effort .

Sincerely,

Scott Fitts

*It would have to be an improvement. :) BT

Hi Brock,

Ever since I picked up on your blog I "Knew" you were a "Gentleman of the South!" You lack the "Crassness" that is so prevalent in today's Sociopolitical arena but speak with the Firmness in Truth and Conviction of Right like the words of our Late Great President Jefferson Davis! That is Honorable.

I have been thinking about this for a while now. At first it was a very subtle notice, then it became larger as I saw more. Then it bloomed to me to be what it is. In your writings, in your Blog, Brock, "You" have written, posted and done more to eradicate the "Revisionist History" forced on us by the "Northern Aggressors,"BAR NONE!!!" The "Stars and Bars" fly High and Proud today even more thanks to your efforts!

Reading your post on 03 JUNE about the birthday of President Jefferson Davis and the "quotes" of his was the galvanizing statement! The first words of "His" you posted say so much, are timeless and can never be "Destroyed!" by any man! .......and those words were........

"Truth crushed to the earth is still truth still and like a seed will rise again."--Jefferson Davis (1808-1889)

In so many ways you and your efforts to keep and carry on the "Truth of the South" are the water and light of the Sun that nourish "That Seed" that Jefferson Davis speaks of! That "Seed" of "Southern Truth!" That cannot be vanquished because of efforts like Men as yourself!

Thanks for your selfless effort,

The "Stars and Bars" FLY!

Dear Mr. Townsend,

I wanted to write to thank you for the pleasure and education I have received from reading your blog "Free North Carolina". I can honestly say that FNC is one of the first sites I visit daily.

I am a northerner by birth yet I consider the vilification of all things "South" a true and tragic disgrace. Your work has enabled me to become more familiar with a culture that I admire, yet have never really been familiar with.

Keep up the outstanding work!

A friend north of the Mason-Dixon Line,

Bob

===============================

My good sir,

I have been reading your blog for years, filling-in the woeful gaps in my knowledge thanks to your efforts, and have been truly impressed with not merely the depth and breadth of the topics you broach, but the frank and honest way you deal with them.

I salute you.

You cannot imagine my immense delight at just reading the "Witting, intentionally, and willfully..." posted on your site, that you linked to Theo Spark's blog.

I'm the guy that wrote it and sent it to Theo a few days ago.

On both our behalves, thank you for posting it on your fine blog.

With warmest personal regards,

Rico
